Based on physics learning research and cognitive science principles, this project will expand, implement and iteratively improve an online application that provides students with carefully designed practice sessions to improve their basic skills that are essential to success in introductory physics courses.
A pilot version is currently running for one course, and this project will make needed improvements and additions in order to roll this out to 4 courses (more than 6,000 students/year) for permanent adoption by the department.
